Join ITS Australia and ITS (UK) for a review of this year’s ITS World Congress in Hamburg. With many ITS (UK) members and all ITS Australia ones unable to make it, you can take this opportunity to hear from, and ask questions of, those who were there.
Our panel will be led by Prof Eric Sampson who was Chief Rapporteur of the event, who will give his summary of the key sessions and talking points. He’ll be joined by representatives of ITS (UK) who were in and around the exhibition and staffing the UK Pavilion to discuss what exhibition visitors were talking about. The one hour webinar will be moderated by ITS (UK) Communications Manager Paul Hutton, who produced podcasts from the event talking to exhibitors around the world and can give his thoughts on some of the key topics and technological breakthroughs he reported on. ITS Australia’s CEO Susan Harris will be on the panel asking questions from an Australian perspective on behalf of the organisation’s members taking part on the day.
